Hammer & Chisel Day 1 Review!

Hammer  & Chisel Day 1 Review- Chisel Balance

My First impression??.......I WILL feel this tomorrow!!!!! :)

Today was the official DAY 1 of my new workout program, Hammer & Chisel. I've previewed about 4 of these workouts before I officially received it in the mail but I decided to Officially start on a Monday so that I'll be on the calendar! 

This 60 day workout program was created by Autumn Calabrese, the 21 Day Fix creator, and Sagi Kalev, from Body Beast! These 2 masters joined forces for this one and he's bringing the "Hammer" while she provides the "Chisel". 

It's the perfect all around resistance training program! And it's also great for couples to do together :)

One of the other BONUSES  is that it INCLUDES the 21 Day Fix containers system...which is a color-coded, perfectly portioned meal plan system where you don't have to ever count calories!...if your food fits, you eat it! 

So today was the first of the Chisel Series, Chisel Balance....and boy did Autumn test mine!! It was only about 39 mins (Most are 30 mins) which is one of my favorite parts of this program and it definitely got the job done!

 I honestly feel that completing the 21 Day Fix Extreme was great prep for this workout but it was still a challenge!

This one used light-medium weights and gave some of the staple weight training moves (like rows, hamstring curls, and squats) the added challenge of balance moves combined! 

Now, many people are asking me about the equipment needed for this workout program:

-Yes you do need weights!
 I happen to have 3-20lbs of free weights at home. My husband made this investment 2 Christmas ago for me and I can honestly say they've gotten their use! 

- You do NOT need a Bench you CAN use a Stability ball or just the floor!
I just got my bench today, however, because I  found a great deal on one on Sports Authority online and found a great promo code so I got the Bowflex Selectech 3.1 bench (had to put it together today, which was like the pre-workout! But I managed it! lol) 

--I have also seen that they use a pull up bar in a couple workouts...but not in today's! 
I personally do NOT have a pull up bar, I use a resistance band and door attachment instead which they also show the move this way :)


My overall thoughts???

DAMN! No...but in all reality, I was very impressed with the moves in this workout! They were moves I'd never done before, they used multiple body parts at once, including balance moves which are great for the core, and I still felt like I could do them without having to hit pause too many times!

I'm VERY excited for what's to come!! I'm pretty sure I'll be feeling this one tomorrow so I tried out the Performance Line Post Workout Recovery tonight to see if this helps my DOMS! (Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness)....I'll have to do a review on that if it helps!! 

If you are looking for some great pre and post workout supplements, I'd love to chat with you more about the 100% all natural ingredients line I'm using now! 

I'm newer to supplements, as I never liked artificial ingredients and flavorings...but these are LEGIT! 


Ok, so who is this program PERFECT FOR??:
-Those who have been working out already
 -21 Day Fix grads!
-Body Beast grads
-P90X grads
-GYM RATS!!! This workout is very "Gym-like" and you can STREAM it and bring it along! It'll give you some cool moves to show off with!

I maybe wouldn't suggest starting out with this one, unless you like a challenge...but all moves can be modified and you CAN start with light weights to make it more beginner friendly! 

Oh and my husband was pretty impressed when I showed him this video from today's workout....so ladies, you and your man can do this one together! 

Want to try it for yourself? I'm hosting an elite TEST GROUP in 2016...This will be an online group for those of us taking this challenge to support each other and stay accountable to our goals!!

My Story!

So if you've been following my blogs or you are new to my blog, WELCOME! I wanted to let you know why I'm so passionate about what I do as an Online Health & Fitness Coach and why this business opportunity is so amazing! 

My name is Sara Petrucci and I am a licensed family nurse practitioner. I have a strong passion for helping others along their journey to better health & mentoring those interested in making fitness a business!

I feel so blessed to have transformed myself, not only physically, but most importantly mentally through my own fitness journey. For pretty much my whole life stating in middle school,  I had a very negative body image and battled an eating disorder. My mental anguish was constant and I did every unhealthy trick in the book to try to get skinny! 

During high school I was my WORST! My parents divorced during that time and being the oldest of 3, it was my job to take them back and forth every week to the other parent's house. I used my eating disorder as a way to CONTROL my life and it CONTROLLED ME! 


When I went to college but didn't have much drive or passion for what I wanted to do with my life. I started partying and drinking a lot more and completely stopped working out and eating right! In way I thought I had cured my eating disorder, but I was simply masking it by my partying and becoming even more unhealthy! 

After graduation, I found very few options for work that interested me! I took a job I HATED and would cry before leaving for work...well I was FIRED from my first cooperate job and felt like a complete failure with no hope!! 

I was depressed, exhausted, and out of shape mentally and physically.



That's when I decided I had to take control of one aspect of my life and decided to get back into fitness. I started by ordering my first Beachbody program, INSANITY in 2010 after watching countless transformation videos. 

Was it easy? HECK NO! But it sparked a huge change in me! 

Completing that program made me realized I could DO MORE!! 

My fitness journey inspired me to PUSH FOR MORE in my life! I decided to go back to college to become an RN and ARNP and basically created my dream job! 

Thankfully I've overcome my past issues and I've gotten in the BEST shape of my life (mentally & physically) doing it the healthy way!! My mindset has completely changed and this has affected all aspects of my life for the BETTER!

NOW I'm PAYING IT FORWARD and helping others start their transformations! 

There is no better reward than seeing the difference a healthier lifestyle makes for peoples' overall well being, quality of life, body image, and happiness.

Top Reason I love Beachbody Coaching!

What is a Beachbody Coach?

A Beachbody coach is someone who is passionate about ending the obesity trend, someone who inspires others to live a healthier lifestyle, someone who is a product of the products (or just really loves the products!). A Beachbody coach is someone makes an income all by doing what they love - staying fit, promoting health, building relationships, and inspiring like minded individuals to do the same! 

Whether you've already experienced your own transformation through one of our amazing programs or you are just starting your journey, anyone can be a successful Beachbody coach! 

All it takes is for you to share what you're doing & what's helping you better your health with others :) 

The Top Reasons I LOVE Coaching:

1. You are rewarded financially and emotionally by HELPING your challengers or customers rather than simply selling products! With most other MLM companies, you sell a product, make the transaction, and that's it. With Beachbody you are building a relationship with that person. You get to help them become the person they want to be and achieve their goals. Forget the money...there is NO better feeling than an inbox full of "Thank Yous" from people who you inspired and helped! 

2. You get to be CREATIVE (if you want to be)- I don't get too many creative opportunities in my job as a nurse practitioner but with Coaching, I get to express my creative side. Coaches get to use Beachbody's amazing products to create completely personal and customized challenge groups for their customers! I get to decide on what content I want to share and have fun using my own clean eating recipes, etc. I also get to play with online apps to create creative advertisements for my groups! 

If creativity isn't your thing then no worries either- Beachbody provides you with lots of templates to use...I just love to make them my own and customize the content I provide for my personal customers!

3. I get to play with Social Media! - I have to admit, prior to Coaching, I obviously dabled in social media but I'm now learning so much about how it works and the various platforms. What's the best is that I get to help so many more people this way! Most of my success has come from reconnecting with friend via social media. It's such an easy way to find new people to help and to join your team!

4. I have TONS of support and training provided to me by other successful coaches in the biz and it's all available ONLINE and on My TIME! Let's face it, life's busy and it's so amazing to be able to run your own business on your own time!

5. I had nothing to lose! - I have been using Beachbody product and LOVING them for over 5 years! As a coach, I had my initial sign up fee waived (you can too), there is such a low coaching cost, and I get 25% off all of the products I have been using and buying for years! Plus now I'm part of a team of some of the most supportive, motivated, and positive coaches that inspire and support me everyday!

6. ACCOUNTABILITY- It takes my personal accountability up to the NEXT LEVEl! Seriously, when I don't feel like working out I just think about the challengers in my challenge group and it pushes me to keep on going! Now of course all coaches have off days! We are definitely not perfect, but we enjoy fitness and healthy eating. We get to pay it forward to help others make a lifestyle change by sharing what works for us which is awesome! 

7. You get to be in FULL CONTROL of how you run your business! You can simply be a discount coach and if you just enjoy getting the programs and Shakeology for 25% off, You can use it to earn an extra $500 per month as a hobby, or you can choose and build a business and YOU get to build your OWN TEAM! What other jobs allows you to CHOOSE who you work with?!

So if you are a fan of the programs and/or Shakeology, there really is no good reason NOT to coach?! You get paid to share with others what you are already doing....I coached for free for years while I was in graduate school....and I'm so glad I became official!
